The matter of legal succession after the entity called transmitee who was appointed to inherit and died before definitive acquisition of inheritance is regulated according to the article 1017 of Civil Code. Since the regulation is quite laconic it is extremely complicated to establish legal status of the transmitee. Lack of adequate normative conclusions results in many controversies. No unequivocal statement in any terms of legal status of the transmitee can be found in the literature. Especially with regard to such issue as source of powers for the transmitee to make a statement on the succession after the testator as well as the most complex matter that is multiplicity of transmitees and the number and contents of declarations they make regarding inheritance from the testator of the transmitee.
